Chas & Dave performs Wonder Where He Is Now? on Later⦠with Jools Holland on BBC Two (12 June 2018).
[Chorus]
I wonder where he is now,
My old pal.
Me and him used to go fishing,
In the old canal.
I woke this morning thinking bout him,
Don t know why I don t know.
I wonder what he s doing of,
I should like to know.
[Verse 1]
N.C.
He used to catch a lot of Gudgeon,
I caught a lot of bleak.
Cos now and then he would hook a big one,
Well nearly every week.
I asked him how he done it,
He told me what to do.
Fish about a yard deeper,
And you ll catch a biggun too.
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
And when the day was nearly over,
And we could barely see.
We d take the torches off our bikes and shine them on our floats,
For extra visibility.
Pretty soon we d be biking,
Down the lane into the night.
And what I thought were birds flying all around he said were bats,
And of course, he was right.
[Chorus]
N.C.
Wonder where he is now,
My old pal.
Me and him used to go fishing,
In the old canal.
I woke this morning thinking bout him,
Don t know why I don t know.
I wonder what he s doing of,
I should like to know.
Wonder where he is now
[Outro]
